We are planning on starting a Vex U team for our university. We (the students) have been in Vex for over five years and none of the teachers in this university have experience with Vex. So we don’t really need anyone to guide our team, but is it mandatory to have a school staff member at least listed as your coach? And if so, what is the role of the coach?
There is no RECF requirement for a U team to have a coach; however, you should probably look into your college or university to see what resources might be available and whether you need (if working on campus) a faculty advisor for a student Club. If you don’t plan to use any college or university resources and work at home, then go for it. But if you can interface with an advisor you might get some space on campus, and you might even get some funding. Team MCCC is fully funded for parts and materials and workspace…we just need enough students to form a team. Our last U-team was tipping point.
